Bodily weakness due to excessive crying

2025-04-25 10:17:38
My daughter used to be very charming but one thing which is not good is she cry for other children to play with them all the time. If children go to their home or not come to her to play she cry excessively and do not listen anyone. Other children take advantage of her this behaviour and make her cry more by ignoring her knowingly. I as mother so exhausted with this situation and after all her crying I feel so irritated that I beat her oftenly and shout on her for not going behind other children. Now she is getting weak and slim day by day. She is no more chubby now. Her arm are so thin that I feel pity on her. How to get rid of this visious cycle. Please help me. 😢

It sounds like you're going through a challenging and emotionally exhausting situation with your daughter. It's clear you care deeply about her well-being, and the difficulties you're facing are understandable given her current behavior and your emotional response to it. From a psychological perspective, your daughter’s behavior could be related to her need for social connection and validation from her peers. Crying when others don't play with her or when they leave her could be a way for her to express her frustration, loneliness, or sense of rejection. Children at her age can struggle with social boundaries, and some may develop a tendency to cling to others when they are unable to regulate their emotions effectively. Unfortunately, some children may take advantage of this emotional vulnerability, which likely increases her distress. Your own emotional exhaustion and frustration are completely valid, and it's natural to feel irritated when you're overwhelmed. However, physical punishment, such as hitting or shouting, often leads to an escalation of negative feelings in children, like fear or confusion. It may also exacerbate the cycle of emotional withdrawal and physical changes you are noticing in her, such as weight loss or thinness.

Health Tips
Here are some strategies that might help break this cycle: Understand Her Emotional Needs: Recognize that her crying is a signal of her emotional distress rather than a behavior to punish. It's important to validate her feelings by acknowledging how sad or upset she feels when the other children don’t play with her. Let her know that it’s okay to feel sad, but it’s also important to learn how to manage those emotions. Set Boundaries with Compassion: Gently set clear and consistent boundaries around her behavior. Let her know that it’s okay to ask other children to play, but she must also respect their decision if they don’t want to. Use positive reinforcement when she respects others’ boundaries. For example, "I see you’re feeling upset, but it’s important to listen to others when they say no." Model Healthy Emotional Regulation: Children learn a lot from observing their parents. If you express your own feelings in a calm and controlled manner, she will start to learn how to manage her emotions more effectively. Instead of reacting with anger, try to express your feelings through statements like, “I understand you want to play with your friends, but it’s not okay to cry when they can’t play.” Promote Healthy Social Skills: Encourage her to develop other ways to initiate play. Teach her how to ask others to play politely, and help her build self-confidence in her ability to make friends by encouraging activities she enjoys. It might be helpful to have her involved in activities where social interaction is structured, like group games or classes that require cooperative behavior. Ensure Proper Nutrition and Physical Activity: The weight loss you are noticing could be linked to stress and emotional exhaustion, so ensuring that she’s eating enough balanced meals and getting enough sleep is important. Stress can significantly affect a child’s appetite and physical health. Encourage a routine that includes healthy meals, snacks, and physical playtime. Seek Support for Yourself and Her: Parenting in such situations can be incredibly draining. Seeking support, whether through a counselor, support group, or even a trusted friend, can provide you with emotional respite and strategies to cope with your frustration. Additionally, considering a child psychologist or counselor for your daughter could help her build coping skills and social resilience. Practice Self-Compassion: As a mother, you are doing your best, but it's also okay to acknowledge that this is difficult. Parenting is full of ups and downs, and it’s important to treat yourself with kindness and understanding during tough moments.

It’s clear you deeply care for your daughter and are feeling exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed by the situation. From what you’ve described, your daughter seems to have a very sensitive nature and strong emotional need for social connection. When she doesn’t get the response she hopes for from other children, it causes her distress and in turn, this cycle affects you both emotionally and physically. While it’s understandable that constant crying can be difficult to manage, responding with physical punishment and shouting may unintentionally worsen her anxiety and self-esteem, and contribute to her weight loss and withdrawn behaviour.
Next Steps
Book an appointment with a child psychologist or clinical psychologist at a nearby mental health facility. They can assess your daughter’s emotional, social, and behavioural development and suggest supportive interventions. Note when these crying episodes occur, their duration, and how she behaves afterwards. This will help professionals understand the pattern and triggers. Consider attending a parental support session or counselling to help manage your own emotions, and learn calmer, healthier ways to respond to your daughter’s behaviour.
Health Tips
Avoid punishing or shouting at her when she cries. Instead, offer calm reassurance and distraction by engaging her in indoor activities she enjoys. Create a predictable daily routine for her, with fixed times for meals, play, study, and sleep. Encourage one-on-one playtime at home where she feels safe and appreciated, even if other children are not around. Appreciate her small efforts and emotional expressions, reinforcing positive behaviour gently. Take care of your own emotional health — step away for a few minutes if you feel overwhelmed, and seek support from a trusted friend or family member. NOTE: You’re not alone in this as many parents face such challenges, and reaching out like this is the first, most important step towards healing both for your daughter and yourself. With professional help and small, consistent changes at home, this cycle can absolutely be improved.

Parenting can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when we see our child in emotional pain. Your exhaustion and worry for your daughter are valid, and it’s clear you love her deeply. The cycle you described — your daughter's emotional sensitivity, her crying, your reaction — is a sign of both of you feeling stuck and needing support, not a sign of failure. You are asking for help, and that shows immense strength.
Next Steps
✨ For your daughter: She sounds like a very emotionally sensitive and connection-seeking child. Right now, she needs help in building emotional resilience and learning healthy friendships — how to manage disappointment when others don't respond, and how to feel good even when alone. ✨ For you as a mother: You also need space to heal your exhaustion and learn gentle parenting strategies that reduce shouting/beating — not because you are bad, but because both of you deserve better cycles of love and security.
Health Tips
🌼 Emotion Coaching: Instead of reacting to her crying, acknowledge her feelings: "I see you’re very sad because you wanted to play. It’s okay to feel sad. I am here." This teaches her it's normal to feel emotions, without making her ashamed. 🌸 Set Gentle Boundaries: You can lovingly teach her: "Sometimes friends say no. That’s okay. Let’s find something else fun to do together." Gradually help her enjoy solo play too. 🌻 Manage Your Own Emotions: When you feel irritated, pause before reacting. Step into another room if needed. Practice calming breathing (inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts). Remember: you are resetting the cycle one small step at a time. 🧸 Rebuild Physical and Emotional Health: Love, cuddle, and nourish her. Positive physical touch (hugs, stroking hair) can repair a lot of emotional wounds. Also, make sure she is getting nutritious meals and enough rest. 🌈 Seek Professional Help: Sometimes, the pain is deep and needs a safe therapeutic space. Therapy can support both your child (to build confidence) and you (to heal your emotional fatigue). Soul Savera Recommendation: At Soul Savera, we specialize in working with sensitive children and parents to rebuild emotional bonds with compassion. 🌿 You’re not alone — a little guidance can bring back the joy you both deserve. If you’d like, you can explore parenting consultations or child counseling with us.

Hello, It is so understandable as a mother that you cannot see your child's health deteriorate. Children need to be spoken in a language that they can relate to, that is of kindness & encouragement. You can take her to play at parks where she can engage with several children. Enrolling her for activities of her interest where there is an opportunity to engage with other children. This shall widen her scope of friends and overcome dependency & restrictions. Gradually she will adapt to making new friends. Also so that she creates a meaningful foundation, she can be made to understand with interesting tools how trees, pets , mother nature are all friends available to us. Motivating her to create new forms of play by herself and be comfortable doing so. This mind shift may be gradual but facilitates learning the life long skills of creating healthy connections. You can consult for further professional guidance. Happy Healthy Living!

Hi, This is a deeply concerning situation. Your daughter's emotional distress, fueled by the manipulative behavior of other children, and your own escalating frustration and reactions, have created a vicious cycle. The physical consequences—weight loss and thin arms—are a clear sign of underlying trauma. Instead of resorting to physical punishment and shouting, which will only exacerbate the problem and damage your relationship, you need to address the root cause. Seeking professional help is crucial. A therapist specialising in child psychology can help your daughter develop coping mechanisms for dealing with rejection and social difficulties. They can also guide you on how to respond to her emotional outbursts constructively and help foster a more positive social environment for her. Crucially, therapy can help you understand and process your own feelings of exhaustion and frustration, and develop healthier parenting strategies. Ignoring or dismissing your daughter's cries is not an effective solution, and can be causing additional pain. Breaking this cycle requires a multi-pronged approach involving support for both your daughter and you.
